Capturing their first of three Grammy Awards as ‘Best New Artist of 2005’ and then going on to sell more than 17 million albums worldwide, the American pop and rock band Maroon 5’s releases that have gone gold and platinum in over 35 countries. Originally starting out in 1994 as an alternative rock/power pop band called Kara’s Flowers, the group took in guitarist Jimmy Valentine and changed their name to Maroon 5 as they moved on to more rnb and smooth pop influences. Maroon 5 won over fans and critics alike with the sleek, emotional sound they introduced on their debut album, ‘Songs About Jane’. The 2002 release spawned the popular singles “Harder to Breathe”, “This Love”, “She Will Be Loved”, and “Sunday Morning”, receiving considerable international airplay.  With massive commercial success at their grasp, the band followed-up with their sophomore album, ‘It Won’t Be Soon Before Long’, which they released on May 22, 2007 and included the immense hits “Makes Me Wonder” and “If I Never See Your Face Again”. Many musical critics praised the work, with Allmusic in particular stating that the production of the album “is so immaculate that it glistens”. Both of the group’s albums were soon certified double platinum.  In 2010, the group released their third studio album, ‘Hands All Over’, which had strong commercial success and has been certified platinum. The collection featured two hit singles including the Hot A.C. smash “Misery” and the pop anthem “Moves Like Jagger”, also known as “Moves Like Jagger (feat. Christina Aguilera)”, which climbed to the #1 spot on the Top 40 and Hot A.C. charts as well as the #1 spot on the Billboard Hot 100. “Moves Like Jagger” also became of the best selling singles of 2011 with sales of 8.5 million copies worldwide.  Additionally, both singles received Grammy Award nominations in the category of ‘Best Pop Performance By A Duo Or Group With Vocals’. As the years have passed, “Moves Like Jagger” has become one of the best-selling singles of all time. With the success of his work over the past decade, Maroon 5 frontman Adam Levine also notably became the first artist in the chart’s 53-year history to reach #1 as part of a group while entering the Top 10 at the same time as a soloist. He was featured on and co-wrote hip-hop group Gym Class Heroes’ popular single “Stereo Hearts (feat. Adam Levine)” (also known as just “Stereo Hearts”).  Following this success, Maroon 5 released their highly anticipated fourth studio album, ‘Overexposed’, in the summer of 2012. Recorded in Los Angeles, CA, the release is a rich, pop-infused collection that quickly reinforced the group’s status as a powerhouse in popular music. Overexposed features a series of chart-topping singles including: “Payphone,” which immediately shot straight to #1 on both the Top 40 and Hot AC charts, and “One More Night,” which held at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 for nine straight weeks.  Most recently the band received GRAMMY nominations in the categories of Best Pop Performance for “Payphone” and Best Pop Album for Overexposed. The group just released “Love Somebody,” the fourth single off of their new album and headlined the Honda Civic Tour last summer alongside special guest Kelly Clarkson. The tour kicked off in St. Louis on August 1st and continued through early October.    In addition to his work with Maroon 5, Adam Levine has returned for the fifth season as a coach on the #1 NBC hit series The Voice. Adam also recently made his small screen acting debut on the new 2012 season of the hit FX drama American Horror Story, and has landed a lead role in the major motion picture film, Can A Song Save Your Life from director John Carney.
